Abstract
Feeding jejunostomy (FJ) is a simple surgical procedure for enteral nutrition. But it can develop complications that may require re-exploration and can be life-threatening. Common complications include mechanical ones such as tube migration or dislocation, infection, gastrointestinal symptoms and fluid and electrolyte imbalances. However, intussusception is a rare complication of FJ. A 54-year-old gentleman underwent a D2 subtotal gastrectomy with Roux-en-Y gastrojejunostomy with FJ. On the sixth postoperative day, he developed severe colicky pain associated with abdominal distension and bilious vomiting. Ultrasonography and computed tomography revealed a 10-cm long jejunojejunal intussusception with the FJ tube at the center of the intussusception with proximal jejunal loops' distension. The patient was taken up for a re-exploratory laparotomy with manual reduction of the intussusception and a new FJ insertion distal to the previous enterotomy site. The patient had an uneventful postoperative recovery.Entities:
